Coravin Model One Advanced Wine Bottle Opener and Preservation System: Keep Your Wine Fresh for Longer!

Jake: There were several very bad reviews that I read before purchasing this product, which made me skeptical about the Coravin. Nevertheless, I thought I'd give it a try. All the bad reviews said that the cork did not re-seal after removing the needle causing the wine to leak from the bottle, air to leak into the bottle and the wine to go bad. We have not had any such problems. I believe the key to solving the problem is to lay the bottle on its side (or more if necessary) so that the wine is in contact with the cork. The wetness of the wine will cause the cork to swell and seal itself. We had only two situations when one or two drops leaked from the hole, but the cork then re-sealed itself and the wine was still good several days later. We were also reluctant to open an expensive bottle of wine when we knew weren't going to finish the bottle. Now it is nice knowing we can enjoy a glass or two of the fruit of the vine without going overboard!

Pedro G.: Muy práctico y sencillo de usar. Sin duda un gadget que debe tener todo amante del vino para darse el capricho de abrir una buena botella y disfrutarla durante un tiempo sin miedo a que se pierda. La velocidad de servicio del vino es algo lenta pero lógico dado el tamaño de la aguja. Incluso se puede insertar sin retirar la capsula,( con lacre yo lo retiraría) Es recomendable disponer de cargas de repuesto ya que solo trae dos. Apariencia mate muy estética.

Andrés Olmos Gomez: Me parece un producto ideal para beber una copita de vino en cualquier momento y sin tener que preocuparte que este va a perder todas las propiedades y características. Aunque el precio es un poco excesivo y desconozco la duración de las cargas de gas, tendremos que seguir probándolo para saber su duración

ALEXANDER, Vanessa: We have been buying some nice bottles of wines and have a range from say $15 to $100+. Other than when we are entertaining we would never drink a bottle on a random night. Maybe one or the other of us will have a glass. This device allows to sample any corked wine - cheap, midrange and pricey - and feel no concern about the bottle being opened. Take a glass and put the bottle away. I can drink white - she can drink red, no problem! Have had at least 10 glasses (probably 15) and am not through the first cartridge. It's a little clunky - not beautiful and elegant - very utilitarian - but works great. The argon canisters are too expensive - but well worth it. Highly recommend!

Covadonga: Si te gusta el vino pero no sueles acabar las botellas que abres, esta es tu solución. Este aparato te permite servir vino sin descorchar la botella. Por lo tanto, puedes beber lo que quieras cuando quieras sin echar a perder el vino que quede. Eso si, no es barato y tienes que comprar cargas de gas cada x tiempo.

Patricia garcia: El producto lo he utilizado para servir vino por copas. Me parece muy práctico y útil, puesto que el vino se conserva perfecto hasta la próxima vez que lo consumas.
Lo que menos me ha gustado es que me parece que las instrucciones son un poco escuetas, me ha costado entender cómo funciona. Aunque una vez que lo entiendes es sencillo. Tampoco sé cómo comprar cápsulas una vez que se me acaben

Simon: I just received my Coravin Model 1 and YES, I am very excited!
First things first, the "unboxing" is optimal, just enough information and the how to use guide proved very helpful. I really liked that they also included a little bag to put my model 1 away after using it!
I also went to the website to ensure I was not missing a point. I am glad I did as it showed me how to use the needle with extra care. I would advise future buyers to do the same.
And now about the experience: setting it up was easy (follow the very visual very helpful how to guide provided with the box. I heard the little pop, meaning it is ready to use.
The final part! I am a huge wine drinker, wine is just my thing and when I first saw this device existed, I was very hesitant, questioning the technology. But now after trying it, I must saw I am impressed. I tried it on a wine I am very familiar with and the taste was exactly the same as when I just put the cork out. I want to read more about how this work because this is really ground-breaking.
Finally, the possibility to enjoy the rest of my bottle another day is clearly a game-changer, it redefines the way I will consume wine and the way I will...

BioNrd: Love. Love love. Love. We are not heavy wine drinkers--a glass every now and then--and we are fickle in what we like--what's good today, may not appeal next time. So it is super nice to pour a glass of whatever we want, knowing we don't have to finish off the rest of the bottle soon or risk it going sour. My mom bought us ours, then I went and bought one for my mother-in-law, because we liked it so well. It is great for parties, too, when people bring a bottle of something you don't prefer, but they love. You can tap into it and save the rest of the bottle for their next visit or (if they are close friends and don't mind you being tacky) legally send the rest of the corked bottle home with them.

It is expensive. If you finish a bottle of wine in an evening, have a favorite wine that is universally liked in your household and so will be finished up quickly, or don't have wine-drinking friends over often, then it may not be worth the expense. For us, it was worth it!

It's a little techie to get working, but we just followed the instructions and did fine You'll want to keep a spare canister handy because when they are out, they are out! We got maybe 20 uses (complete...

Niccolo Donzella: I find this very useful as it allows you to offer whites and reds to different guests or for different courses without opening the bottle. Especially handy when alone. The capsules don’t last all that long, however, and have been fitted with what appears to me to be an unnecessary plastic piece that serves to prevent the use of standard and much cheaper charging capsules. Creates unnecessary cost

M. Carlo: Ho ordinato il prodotto con una certa esitazione. Dopo qualche giorno ho capito che avrebbe cambiato la vita. Avevo recentemente dovuto buttare dei vini chiusi con il sistema di pompaggio dell'aria e tappi speciali perché dopo pochi giorni perdevano le caratteristiche aromatiche. Con il Coravin è come se la bottiglia non fosse mai stata aperta, e continua l'evoluzione normalmente. testimonianze prestigiose (Robert Parker) affermano di averlo verificato nel corso di anni, non giorni o settimane e d'altronde il principio fisico è molto chiaro, dato che viene iniettato argon in corrispondenza del vino "spillato".
L'uso è molto facile dopo un paio di prove e video di istruzioni su uso e lavaggio.
Ecco alcune applicazioni:
- assaggiare buone bottiglie senza aspettare l'occasione speciale o un gruppo di amici. Mi sto gustando un porto vintage (famoso per la qualità ma anche veloce deperibilità, una volta aperto va bevuto in 3-5 giorni) al bicchiere di tanto in tanto.
- scegliere il vino per una cena
- assaggiare se la bottiglia che si vuole regalare o portare a cena sa di tappo
- monitorare l'evoluzione nel tempo di un vino pregiato.

Le bombolette di gas...
